story from Mar 2, 2010, titled Grateful Dead Archive makes its public debut in New York.
In it, Santa Cruz Sentinel reports that:

"It's the first time that the physical materials from the Archive have been available in any large number," said Fredric Lieberman, the UCSC music professor who co-authored the landmark book "Planet Drum" with Grateful Dead percussionist Mickey Hart.

I think it's unfortunate that UCSC got the archives, not that I don't think they are a valuable treasure for americana folklore, it's just that UCSC doesn't carry the seriousness that say a Sanford or Berkley would. UCSC, and Santa Cruz still have a lot of growing up to do and attracting more hippies in busses is NOT what this town needs right now!

note to WALSTIB: the majority of deadheads are NOT "hippies in buses". That deadhead stereotype is long dead and buried. We are among you.....accountants, businessmen, scientists, scholars, the Santa Cruz County Supervisor, two U.S. Senators........
